ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.

A call to action
John C. Wagner
Like many of you, I have dedicated my career to the advancement of nuclear energy. We chose this path because clean energy changes lives. If we want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, end energy poverty, develop a U.S. power grid that is secure and resilient, and ensure national security, nuclear must be a significant part of the mix.
But let us acknowledge the reality of our situation. Nuclear power plants continue to close. New reactor projects are too often delayed by cost overruns and red tape. Not having solved the politics for a permanent repository, spent fuel sits at shut-down reactor sites.
We find ourselves perpetually running the hamster wheel, building paper reactors, and grinding our teeth as critics cloud public discourse by regurgitating old fears and clinging to the tired tropes of a bygone era.

This panel discussion, a collaboration of #AtomicAllies (ANS, NAYGN, U.S. WIN, and NEI), featured some of the brightest stars of the industry sharing their keys to success.
Rosemary Yeremian, an experienced professional with 25 years in the industry, published the book “Step Up: The Key to Succeeding in Male-Dominated Businesses.” Rosemary shared lessons from her book and moderated a panel discussion of fellow leaders around strategies and tactics to help women of these nuclear organizations succeed in their careers. They shared lessons learned, personal experiences, and informative anecdotes.
In addition to providing insights on how to move your career forward in nuclear energy, the panel offered tools and resources to become your own brand ambassador and a more effective leader.
ANS, NAYGN, U.S. WIN, and NEI signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2020 to strengthen their collaboration in advancing nuclear energy and science, professional development, and member networking to support industry priorities and benefit their individual members.
